Earlier today, Sheila at Gawker posted a Pic of the Day, which happened to be a shot of Manhattan circa 1942. The photo is from the Charles Cushman Collection at Indiana University. There are plenty more shots of Manhattan from the same era, such as the one below of the Northeast Corner of 1st Street and the Bowery taken on Oct. 4, 1942.

Or this one, taken on the same day, described only as "a block between Avenue A and Avenue B." Any guesses?

By the way

Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

We love tips

Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.
